We have cherry picked some shows and released them but have only scratched the surface. The process of producing a complete and accurate mastered file set is time consuming: select the show, compare to existing sources, adjust the tape deck, transfer to digital, speed correct, master, aquire the source ID and torrent. We realized we would never release most of collection using this method. As long as music is on tapes in a closet, it is useless. If it circulates it is preserved for others and for the future. Rather than go through the whole file set creation process, we transfer each tape or tape side as a single digital file. A two tape concert consists either two big audio files, 1 for each tape or 4 big audio files, one for each side of the two cassettes. We transfer professionally using the best gear and a high quality Analog to Digital device. The Azimuth and Dolby settings are correct. We release these files for everyone. We do not evaluate the quality of the source, master it, or track it. The Knudsen Tape Project is about sharing the tapes. In each numbered release, along with the digital music files, we include a photo of the tapes. The goal is to release as many of the tapes as possible to the website www.shnflac.net. We think the fruits of this project will become more interesting as time passes. We believe that access to raw, properly transferred audio will be of value to both present and future listeners, researchers and others. Audio mastering technology is moving at breakneck speed. We can only imagine the future technology that will be available. Having access to unmastered sources could be invaluable. HISTORY The collection was started with a box of tapes Jeff Knudsen recieved from his friend Dick Latvala in the late 70's. Dick was just a regular guy in Pahoa, Hawaii and had not yet begun officially working with the Greatful Dead. Over time, Jeff's collection grew. At that time, tapes were currency and Jeff had gold. His collection increased to about 5000 coveted tapes, via mail trades and all night copy-athons. Jeff shared them freely and widely. If you had a soundboard tape in your collection years ago there is a good chance it came from Jeff Knudsen. WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT ? Every release in this project is from a band that allows it's fans to trade music non-commercially. We neither add or take away from that permission. We only ask that you credit the Knudsen Tape Project if you use the material. We ask nothing else of you and you do not need to ask permission to use them. Since we ask only for source credit, we would rather not hear complaints. Take what you need and leave the rest. LINEAGE QUESTIONS The notion of documenting lineage is a modern one, or simply one Jeff did not entertain. We do not have lineage information on most of these tapes. Any information we have will be in the photo of the tapes. Some of the tapes sound absolutely fantastic. Others may remind you of a tape you had long ago. Now the rest is up to the community, with whom we have absolute faith in the ability to discern. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Contact shnflac@gmail.com if you need more information.
